This is the PC download version. Just download and copy the files to your phone. On the BB, go to media, hit the menu, select explore and run the files. One of them will full install. The other doesn't do anything, but not sure which one is which.

Is there any type of formatting software that will make it more readable.

I find surfing the net on my Curve sucks. lol

I have used my friends iphone to check websites before and it is much better.
:(

Which sucks because I love my BB much more than te iphone.

You'll never get it to be like the iphone, but you can change the option settings in the BB browser. On Emulation mode, there are several options which will load websites slightly different ways.

Also, Opera Mini v. 4 looks pretty good. Set the text size to small and it gives a better overview of webpages than the default setting. Then use the S, E, F, and X keys to rapidly scroll around the screen or the trackball for slower movement. Trackball press zooms in.

Opera Mini

So, Is the Opera browser better than what comes standard on the 8130 from Verizon?

I read some reviews that recommended it but I'm not looking for a major jobs program... I just got this "Pearl" Saturday... It's my first BB, came from a Palm Treo 650P.

Anybody using a good IM client? I use to use Mundu on my Treo, anything similar available for the BB system?

Thanks,

Jivetalk has been highly recommended by many. It is not free, but the reviews for it are amazing.

This is the PC download version. Select the language in the pulldown, download to your PC and copy the files to your phone. On the BB, go to media, hit the menu, select explore and run the files. One of them will full install. The other doesn't do anything, but not sure which one is which.

I just hope firefox comes out using BIS/data and not the apn like Opera.

I was having problems with it too. But on the opera site they say to go to options - advanced options - TCP then where it says APN type in wap.voicestream.com user name and password leave those BLANK!!!

After I did that it worked fine. Uninstalled it not long after though. I liked it but something about it just kept me from keeping on using it. I might try it again but not sure right now.
